Abstract
An apparatus, method, chipset, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for controlling power are provided. The apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive a data frame and first information related to a next data frame of the data frame; and a controller configured to determine an operation mode as an active mode or a sleep mode based on destination address information of the next data frame and duration information indicating a time during which transmission of the next data frame occurs, wherein the destination address information and the duration information are included in the first information.
Claims20
A terminal for controlling power, the terminal comprising:
- a receiver;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- receive, using the receiver, data including a data frame and first information of a next data frame of the data frame, wherein the first information includes a destination address information of the next data frame and duration information indicating a time during which a transmission of the next data frame occurs;
- determine an operation mode of the terminal as an active mode or a sleep mode based on whether a destination of the next data frame is the terminal by comparing the destination address information of the next data frame with a terminal's address, and the duration information of the next data frame,
- wherein the controller is further configured to identify whether the destination of the next data frame is the terminal based on the destination address information included in the first information,
- in response to identifying that the destination of the next data frame is the terminal, determine the operation mode of the terminal as the sleep mode until a start time of the transmission for the next data frame, and
- in response to identifying that the destination of the next data frame is not the terminal, determine the operation mode of the terminal as the sleep mode until an end time of the transmission for the next data frame.

A method of controlling power of a terminal, the method comprising:
- receiving data including a data frame and first information of a next data frame of the data frame, wherein the first information includes a destination address information of the next data frame and duration information indicating a time during which a transmission of the next data frame occurs;
- and
- determining an operation mode of the terminal as an active mode or a sleep mode based on whether a destination of the next data frame is the terminal by comparing the destination address information of the next data frame with a terminal's address, and the duration information of the next data frame,
- wherein determining the operation mode of the terminal comprises:
- identifying whether the destination of the next data frame is the terminal based on the destination address information included in the first information,
- in response to identifying that the destination of the next data frame is the terminal, determining the operation mode of the terminal as the sleep mode until a start time of the transmission for the next data frame, and
- in response to identifying that the destination of the next data frame is not the terminal, determining the operation mode of the terminal as the sleep mode until an end time of the transmission for the next data frame.

A chipset for controlling power of a terminal, the chipset configured to:
- receive data including a data frame and first information of a next data frame of the data frame, wherein the first information includes a destination address information of the next data frame and duration information indicating a time during which a transmission of the next data frame occurs;
- and
- determine an operation mode of the terminal as an active mode or a sleep mode based on whether a destination of the next data frame is the terminal by comparing the destination address information of the next data frame with a terminal's address, and duration information of the next data frame,
- wherein the chipset is further configured to identify whether the destination of the next data frame is the terminal based on the destination address information included in the first information,
- in response to identifying that the destination of the next data frame is the terminal, determine the operation mode of the terminal as the sleep mode until a start time of the transmission for the next data frame, and
- in response to identifying that the destination of the next data frame is not the terminal, determine the operation mode of the terminal as the sleep mode until an end time of the transmission for the next data frame.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including a computer program for executing a method of controlling power of a terminal, the method comprising:
- receiving data including a data frame and first information of a next data frame of the data frame, wherein the first information includes a destination address information of the next data frame and duration information indicating a time during which a transmission of the next data frame occurs;
- and
- determining an operation mode of the terminal as an active mode or a sleep mode based on whether a destination of the next data frame is the terminal by comparing the destination address information of the next data frame with a terminal's address, and duration information of the next data frame,
- wherein determining the operation mode of the terminal comprises:
- identifying whether the destination of the next data frame is the terminal based on the destination address information included in the first information,
- in response to identifying that the destination of the next data frame is the terminal, determining the operation mode of the terminal as the sleep mode until a start time of the transmission for the next data frame, and
- in response to identifying that the destination of the next data frame is not the terminal, determining the operation mode of the terminal as the sleep mode until an end time of the transmission for the next data frame.
